Easter changes dates every year. Last year was April 4th. This year was April 17th Next year it will be April 9th. Some celebrate Semana Santa the week before Easter. Some, the week after. $ome, both weeks. So, flight patterns change every year too. Covid slowing and not as rampant gave a lot of people the courage to go out into groups again. With a vengeance. lol This happens every year and VIA peeps get all excited about it for a month or two. Meh.

Southwest increased capacity at HRL by over 80% for those months,with about 3 more flights daily and four more flights for this summer with DAL nonstops. Vivaaerobus already checked out by Semana Santa with most of that month's flights being canceled. I know, I checked practically every day then. HRL hadn't surpassed MFE in enplanements since probably shortly after 9/11. I'd have to check. But since 2016, HRL has grown, slowed by the 737 Max 8 fiasco, Hurricane Harvey, and the pandemic of which saw WN cut back greatly while MFE for the most part kept its capacity up with AA and UA.

I recall every year on the other forum people crowing about how VIA beat MFE every spring. Then nothing the months afterwards. Could have sworn that's what would happen annually.

Sun Country flights to begin month earlier in Harlingen
By Rick Kelley - Valley Morning Star -June 15, 2022 HARLINGEN — Minneapolis-based Sun Country Airlines, an increasingly important transport option for Winter Texans coming to the Rio Grande Valley, is revising its fall schedule to add early-season flights. This year the airline will offer flights starting Sept. 28, about a month earlier than past years. The airline is also increasing the frequency of flights compared to 2021. “The biggest news is that Sun Country is coming from Minneapolis earlier than ever, and we should see Winter Texans from Minnesota starting to get in by Sept. 28, which is much sooner than they did last year,” Nicolas Mirman, director of air service and business development at VIA, said Tuesday via email. “With more frequencies, up to daily service toward November, that means compared to 2021 they will be offering around twice as many seats in the market,” he added. “We’ll be seeing lots of sun-seeking visitors from Minneapolis this coming fall and winter season.” Sun Country’s increasing presence at Valley International Airport is especially welcome following the announcement this month that Mexico’s Viva Aerobus will cease passenger flights to and from its hub in Monterrey to Harlingen. On June 1, Sun Country began offering direct flights from Harlingen to Cancun. Overall, the airline has been raising its number of seats in the market and filling them. In April, Sun Country enplaned 3,186 passengers, and for fiscal 2021-22 has increased the number of passengers flying out of VIA by 24.3 percent. Mirman added that, in addition to earlier flights this fall season, Sun Country is expected to increase its number of flights to and from Valley International and could even provide daily service. myrgv.com/local-news/2022/06/15/sun-country-flights-to-begin-month-earlier-in-harlingen/
